Notes
Studio recording for 'Testify' (1979/1983, Texas Flood sessions). Vibroverb was SRV's main studio amp for this era. No evidence of Dumble, Marshall, or other amps on this track. Guitar is the 'Number One' Strat, tuned down a half step. All evidence points to studio setup, not live.

The solo requires advanced blues phrasing, fast picking, and expressive bending/vibrato at high tempo, demanding both technical skill and dynamic control.
